We the Planet
Found poetry for April 16, 2022 National Poetry Month Poetry Challenge
Today’s topic on the Hidden Brain podcast found poetry project is “We Broke the Planet. Now What?’ Here is a series of haikus on this topic, “We’ve grown accustomed to viewing climate change as an enemy we must urgently defeat. But is that the right metaphor for the greatest existential problem of our time? This week, we consider how to reframe the way we think about life on a changing planet.”
Al Gore Quote in Haiku
our generation’s
life death battle histories
cities nations past
heroism made the
difference crucial battle
defined history
The whole world facing
just circumstances right now
our generation’s
